Douluo, there is a system but I don't want to use it

Chapter 15 The Second Soul Ring
"What Director Wang said is ridiculous. I've read in many books that in the Soul Hunting Forest, it's not only the soul beasts that are dangerous, but people themselves. We don't know them at all, we don't know their character, and we don't know if we can handle the soul beasts they provoke. Going out rashly is playing with our own lives. The most frightening thing is that when we are fighting with the soul beasts, they sneak attack us to attract the attention of the soul beasts, and then escape themselves." Fang Tian responded seriously.

"Yes, the most dangerous thing is human beings. I learned this lesson when I was young. That time I lost an important companion. So try not to contact strangers in the Soul Hunting Forest." Director Wang's face showed memories and sadness, but he quickly put it away.

"Let's go, let's pack up and continue looking for your spirit ring." Director Wang patted Fang Tian's shoulder.

The two quickly packed up their things and began their journey to look for parasitic vines and maidenhair vines.

The searching process was boring and repetitive, but the two had good luck and finally found the soul beast they wanted around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's a 900-year-old iron wire vine." Director Wang couldn't help but be excited. The search process was really boring, and I had to concentrate on guarding against possible dangers. Now that I have achieved my wish, I can't help but feel better.

This wire vine is nine meters long and as thick as a child's arm. It is coiled around a dead tree, and the vine even digs into the trunk.

The outer skin of the wire vine is generally brown-gray, and fine black lines run through the outer skin from the root to the tip, and the same is true inside the vine. The black lines are tough and strong like iron wire, which is also the origin of the name of the wire vine.

The important thing is that the maidenhair vine has strong vitality. If you cut a section and insert it into the soil, as long as the weather and soil are not too dry, this section of the vine will soon take root and sprout to grow into a new maidenhair vine.

"System, identification." Fang Tian opened the system.

Name: Maidenhairvine
Years: 903
Soul skills: entanglement, strangulation, rooting

"Okay, this is the soul ring I need!" Fang Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, he finally found it.

Although it was calculated that Fang Tian could absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring, it was too dangerous for a powerless person like Fang Tian to have a thousand-year-old second ring, so he finally chose to be safe.

"Okay, then, the two of us will work together to hunt it. Don't get entangled, otherwise it will be difficult to escape." Director Wang reminded Fang Tian.

"Hey, Director Wang, don't worry about this. I brought a secret weapon." Fang Tian opened the large package he was carrying and took out a dozen tightly tied bamboo tubes.

"The maidenhair vine is known for its toughness, but it is difficult to hunt. The plant's weakness is mostly fire, so I brought a lot of kerosene. This way we can save a lot of effort." Fang Tian explained to Director Wang with a smile.

"Good boy, I was wondering why you were carrying such a big bag, it turns out it was filled with kerosene. Young people are smart and have many ideas. I have been a soul master for decades, and I am used to solving battles with my martial soul. My thinking has become rigid." Director Wang praised Fang Tian generously. Director Wang was naturally happy that one less battle meant one less danger.

The two men threw the bamboo tube with the stopper removed at the wire vine from a distance, and after pouring kerosene, they threw fire over there.

The flames burned fiercely, and the whole dead tree was set on fire. At this time, the iron wire vine kept twisting on the tree, making a hissing sound, and finally the whole vine came down from the tree, constantly whipping around, trying to put out the flames on its body. The flame with oil is not so easy to put out.

The flame burned for about half an hour before it went out. At this time, most of the thin branches of the wire vine were burned off or directly burned to ashes, leaving only the black trunk still twisting back and forth.

Fang Tian walked over and drew out his knife to cut off the iron wire vine from the root, and then dug out the root. A yellow soul ring slowly formed above the iron wire vine. Fang Tian nodded to Director Wang, then sat cross-legged on the ground and released his martial soul.

Fang Tian pulled the soul ring onto his martial soul, and then the soul ring quickly sank into the martial soul.

Fang Tian felt a strong soul force suddenly surge into his meridians, almost bursting them. He quickly used the Ziwu Gong at the maximum speed. The Ziwu Gong, which can be run for up to 69 cycles a day, quickly refined the soul force that surged into his body. Fang Tian's physical fitness, total soul force, and spirit were all getting stronger rapidly.

Although it was not as easy as the last time to refine the spirit ring, it didn't take much effort. Half an hour later, Fang Tian finished refining and opened his eyes.

I felt my soul power and it's about level 22.

"Gained the soul skill to take root?" Fang Tian was shocked when he felt the soul skill. Is this an indissoluble bond with roots?
Fang Tian raised his right hand to release his martial soul, and at this time the martial soul potato seedlings underwent a great change.

The sweet potato that had shrunk to half its size and was covered with black spots has completely disappeared, replaced by roots directly connected to the vine. The roots have become denser, and the original three-inch-tall seedlings have now grown into half-meter-tall sweet potato vines, with black lines running from head to toe.

"Entanglement!" Fang Tian shouted in his heart.

Although my second soul skill is not entanglement, isn’t entanglement with vine-type martial spirits an instinct?

As the soul power was output, the vine on Fang Tian's martial soul grew rapidly and stretched out to a tree as thick as a bowl five meters away, quickly wrapping around the tree trunk. Fang Tian pulled the tree and bent it into a bow shape.

"Okay, it seems that the soul ring of the iron wire vine has greatly increased the strength of your martial soul. Once this strength entangles the enemy, there is no way to break free unless it is a soul master of the beast martial soul." Director Wang praised.

"Judging from the degree of change in your martial spirit, your theory is basically correct. If there is more data to support it, it can be directly confirmed. After all, there is only one example now."

"And your theory of absorbing spirit rings beyond the age limit is also successful. According to this theory, at least the first two spirit rings will be fine." Director Wang sighed again.

"I have to thank Director Wang for his support. I know that this school has no precedent for students to obtain a second soul ring." Fang Tian said gratefully.

“Haha, obtaining a second soul ring is still quite dangerous. There is a risk of casualties among school teachers, so generally we don’t hunt for second soul rings for students. Besides, Notting City is a small city, and we’ve never encountered a student who needed to hunt for a second soul ring before.” Director Wang explained.

"And you are different. Your fighting ability is still very strong. You said that I helped you hunt, but in fact you contributed a lot." Director Wang said and patted Fang Tian on the shoulder.

At this time, after absorbing soul rings twice in a row, Fang Tian's height has reached 1.6 meters, which is just right for others to pat his shoulders!

"Director Wang, let's get out of here quickly. Maybe we can leave the Soul Hunting Forest before dark."
